If I wanted a sales tax, I wanted to be sure we had a plan for it. There is a sense of relief that the vote is over, but also a sense of real defeat here. This sales tax was touted to us as something temporary, so maybe we'll have it for 15 or 30 years. It will outlive all of us. I have yet to find a state or a local government that has put in a sales tax and then take. (04:20–04:26)
